On Forgiveness

"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future".  -Les Brown

 

On Change

Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
Tomorrow be today.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Let Endings be Beginnings and Sadness Turns to Joy

"Wherever you are at is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are."

"The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist. The beginner's humility and openness lead to exploration. Exploration leads to accomplishment. All of it begins at the beginning, with the first small and scary step."

A Quote on Water for #WorldWaterDay

"If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it, write it in the sand near the water's edge." -Napoleon Hill

Today is World Water Day, and although this quote does not speak directly to necessity of clean water for everyone, I think it demonstrates an aspect of the healing power of water. Please go to World Water Day's website for more information on the movement.
